The hands that rock the cradle

I'm probably going to take so much stick for this from the traditionalists but I picked up my iPing cradle at lunchtime. Basically my iPhone 4 slots into the cradle and the cradle clips onto the putter shaft. The iPing app is free to download

I can now get feedback during my putting sessions on tempo, impact angle (relative difference to address angle) and stroke type (straight back & through or arc'd and by how much). Brilliant little tool for grooving a consistent stroke (well that's the plan). Anyone else got it? Tried it?

Brilliant...let's see if you are asking for your money back on Sunday night

Ive only just learnt how to make phone calls on mine!!!

Interesting idea. Does the weight of the phone make much difference to the stroke?? I would have thought that would have had too much effect to make the results of much use.

Ha ha well at least I'll have something to blame if i do putt like poo Sunday d4s. And yes navy you've just worded the excuse perfectly. Off for a session with it now

Methinks you think tooooooooooo much about your putting.

A nonchalant one handed tap in works better every time.

Doon, I think waaaay too much about golf period!! Although as a 7 handicapper aspiring to Cat 1 and early season putting stats of 36 ppr I do think my putting needed some thought and I'm prepared to leave no stone unturned. From memory I had a fairly good putting day at Darley (that was the first weekend after the shaft had been trimmed). Since the trim I'm averaging 32 but still more improvement required.

Just finished a session with it, was rattling in 10 footers for fun however I don't appear to have very consistent stroke so I'm currently relying on timing.

Even though you putted well in our game I sensed weakness with 4 footers.
I remember having a long session on the practice green with Barry Sandry after I had caddied for him in the County Pro's Champ and he had let a good lead slide away on the second round with missed 4 footers.
Like you he seemed to be doing every thing right. I remember the session ended with lots of head scratching from the pair of us. Then I asked him when he last had his eyes tested~ Bingo

hmmm now theres a thing...after years of having a set of normal glasses and a set of reading glasses (I'm very long sighted) I moved to varifocals over the winter (I was fed up leaving expensive reading glasses on buses/trains etc). You do get a certain amount of distortion from varifocals.
